The technology

Rome wasn't built in a day and neither was Anygator.Our technical team have had their noses to the grindstone for two years, blending the net's best indexing, search and semantic analysis algorithms with users' needs.

1. Indexation

Alligators sleep with one eye open and so does the Anygator.Every hour it analyzes each feed in the system by extracting articles and content.Thanks to the accuracy of our indexing technology this content is easily retrieved via specific categorization or user search.

3. The Anygator Rank

Processed on the current 'social score' of each article against all other articles on the site, the Anygator Rank defines the quality of content. This shuffles roughly every ten minutes when it is recalculated.

5. Pictures extraction

The Anygator analyzes the original content of every feed it extracts.This includes looking for img tags, feed enclosures, social tags such as asog:image, and any tags handled by javascript plugin for the asynchronous display of images.It then selects the image that best represents the contents of the link.

2. Social Networks

The Anygator analyzes users' tastes via THE BIG THREE: Facebook, Google+, Twitter, and assigns a score to each link in its database.Every 30 minutes the Anygator checks the number of shares, tweets and +1s, and updates the status of the articles accordingly.

4. Social Score & Trends

The more shares, tweets, and + 1s an article, source or category notches up, the better its Social Score Stats.Based on these statistics the Anygator’s social scores and category trends are processed every three hours.
